Rachael Elliot (she/they) shows
Rachael Elliot Wood is a professional songwriter and musician who loves nothing better than listening to new music with friends. She jumped at the opportunity to join TRUK, giving her an opportunity share her passion with listeners across the globe.
Elliot currently performs with Lincolnshire folk band ‘The Miracle Cure’ and had a short lived stint as a pop songwriter in the early 2000s, culminating in her being listed as a winner in the 2009 International Songwriting Competition. However, her first love will always be alternative rock and her first band was an Edinburgh grunge group in the late 90s.
Elliot came out as transgender in 2019 (after two false starts) and is at the start of her transition journey. She wants to be more active within the trans community and joining TRUK has been a part of this ambition.
